MELBOURNE (Reuters) - Flyhalf Quade Cooper has made himself available for World Cup selection after signing a contract extension with the Australian Rugby Union until the end of 2015.

The 26-year-old Queensland Red lost the Wallabies' starting number 10 position to New South Wales Waratah Bernard Foley when sidelined with a shoulder injury but played an impact role off the bench during the season-ending tour to Europe.
